Man Utd ready to stun Chelsea and hijack move for £100m striker

Jose Mourinho is said to be closing in on the biggest deal of the summer, and what would be a world record transfer fee, by landing the Everton hitman ahead of the reigning Premier League champuions.

Lukaku, who scored 26 goals last season, had been expected to head back to Chelsea this summer but relations are reportedly poor between the Blues and the Toffees after Chelsea’s failed efforts to sign John Stones two years ago.

Indeed, the exclusive report in the Daily Mail also claims that former Goodison Park favourite Wayne Rooney will be used as a makeweight in the transfer.
